[@b4real2me]

LAWD all the talent up on that stage... WOW!!! 🎙🎼🎶❣️

[@tshepangsese1771]

Cissy houston at 0:43 that run😍😍😍

[@Rojuicy_]

My Laaaawd!🥺 I soooooo remember watching this when it aired on the Soultrain Music Awards years ago. A true classic!❤ Can we all just summons BET to have finales like this again moving forward? Bring back the days of Yaaay & Aaaaa!!🙏🏽❤️...Vanessa made me shake the TV😂..How could that audience just sit in their seats like that during this performance is beyond me!🤦🏽‍♀️

[@teneil31]

Lost my grandmother September 30 2018 I can still see her sitting in the living room sing with her powerful soprano voice she would have turned 80 years old this month she loved this song

[@Masion_Divo]

Vanessa wore her part out. She is a sanging somebody !

[@ceds.9592]

Pastor Caesar preach that thang now. Then, you got the great Vanessa or VBA coming in with this soaring glissando and holding that piercing note. Bishop Winans and Ms. Hawkins exchange was just spectacular. They were the perfect pair. Ms. Hawkins gone head and growl for us. Notice everything still sounding in tack when they went Acapella and the old church clapping was everything. Sometimes clapping and stomping in the black church is our only form of percussion. This was everything and really church. This was church and fellowship. The whole stage sounded so good. Let’s not forget to mention that they all looked good and dressed down. Everybody on stage got class, and I’m living for it! Enjoy this everytime I watch.

[@darlenesmith8158]

Vanessa and Doug yes sir

[@traceyscott9961]

Gospel Greats, Im so glad I grew up listening to great gospel music!!

[@dimples40160]
